Panzanella is an Italian salad that can be found on trendy bistro menus in the hot summer months. I'll share a secret with you: This salad was invented when times were tough, as a way to use up stale bread.

I have been wanting to make this but I can't seem to find a whole wheat Italian bread in the store in my town. Sounds kind of nutty but true. - 9/4/17

It is a bread salad, without the bread, it is a whole other thing. - 6/27/17
Sounds wonderful. I will be making - 1/30/17
Sounds yummie! - 8/22/16
Looks interesting and good enough for even we non-cooks to try. I also noticed the imperfections with the English Language (as commented by PFITZ2100); but this is an American website and perhaps these differences occur. As long as the message of the recipe comes across okay, that's the main thing - 9/4/15
Yum! The bread is delicious as it soaks up flavor from dressing! I think the pieces were a bit big! Give her a break on the grammar...she is usually correct! - 4/25/15
LOVE panzanella salad. Great idea to make my own with whole grain bread. I also like the idea of using the immersion blender for salad dressings. - 6/2/14
Steph Mangalvin - Chef - PANZANELLA - contd.
She also completely shatters the English language by saying: We need to purchase
the "most ripest tomatoes!" Really? Chef Steph needs to be aware of what she is saying.
Pretty bad. Thank you for your time.

This is one of my standbys. I like it because of the bread. I need to eat bread, but dont need the cals of what I usually put on it! I rub the griddle with garlic before makingnthe croutons. - 7/3/13
Without the bread. - 6/14/13
I like croutons but not so sure about this bread inclusion. I will give it a try though! - 2/24/13
Hmmm...Video finished but the presentation wasn't finished. Guess that was it? - 9/8/12

it looks down right awesome! Can't wait to try it! - 8/30/10
I love salads but not sure if I will try this not a huge fan of bread in salads. Interesting how many foods we now "enjoy" (even if they aren't good for us!) started out like that - ie French Toast. - 8/30/10
I love this with tuna and fresh basil in the salad as well. Makes a great summer supper. - 8/30/10
